Aspect practical application, when supply voltage VDD1 and supply voltage VDD2 are supplied, control unit 110 can produce isolation signals IS to the strangulation unit 120 control end so that strangulation unit 120 cuts off discharge paths.Relatively, when supply voltage VDD1 and supply voltage VDD2 were not supplied, electrostatic discharge event may betide power supply wiring 131.For in response to this situation, when electrostatic discharge event occurs, electrostatic signal will be coupled to control unit 110 from power supply wiring 131, and control unit 110 will utilize electrostatic signal to produce triggering signal TS, and transmit electrostatic signal to the strangulation unit 120 control end so that strangulation unit 120 conducting discharge paths.
For the technical staff who makes this area have common knowledge can understand the first embodiment of the present invention more; Fig. 2 is the circuit diagram according to the electrostatic discharge protective equipment of first embodiment of the invention, below please refer to thin section circuit and the running of Fig. 2 control circuit 110 and strangulation unit 120.
Control unit 110 comprises trigger element 210 and latch lock unit 240.Wherein, trigger element 210 is electrically connected power supply wiring 131, power supply wiring 133 and ground connection distribution 135, and trigger element 210 comprises P transistor npn npn MP1, resistance R 1 and inverter 211.On being electrically connected, the source electrode of P transistor npn npn MP1 is electrically connected power supply wiring 131, and the grid of P transistor npn npn MP1 is electrically connected power supply wiring 133.The first end of resistance R 1 is electrically connected the drain electrode of P transistor npn npn MP1, and the second end of resistance R 1 is electrically connected ground connection distribution 135.Inverter 211 has input, output, power end and earth terminal.The input of inverter 211 is electrically connected the first end of resistance R 1, the power end of inverter 211 is electrically connected power supply wiring 131 to receive supply voltage VDD1, the earth terminal of inverter 211 is electrically connected to ground connection distribution 135 with reception earthed voltage GND1, and the output of inverter 211 is in order to export control signal CS1 or control signal CS2.
In integrated operation, when supply voltage VDD1 and VDD2 are provided to respectively power supply wiring 131 and 133, the grid of P transistor npn npn MP1 will receive supply voltage VDD2, and then cause P transistor npn npn MP1 cut-off.And because the second end of resistance R 1 is electrically connected to ground connection distribution 135, so earthed voltage GND1 will be passed to by resistance R 1 input of inverter 211.By this, operate in the inverter 211 between supply voltage VDD1 and earthed voltage GND1, will be in response to the earthed voltage GND1 that receives, and produce according to this control signal CS1 with high voltage level, for example: supply voltage VDD1.
Subsidiary one carries, and can maintain the state of cut-off when being biased in supply voltage VDD1 and VDD2 in order to ensure P transistor npn npn MP1, thus supply voltage VDD1 must less than or equal supply voltage VDD2.In practical application, electrostatic discharge protective equipment 100 can be for example to be applied in fast flash memory bank (flash memory) device.At this moment, two required supply voltage VDD1 of fast-flash memory body device are two voltages that magnitude of voltage equates with VDD2, therefore can cause control unit 110 to keep normal running.In other words, be all the applicable scope of electrostatic discharge protective equipment 100 as long as supply voltage meets the electronic circuit of above-mentioned condition.
When supply voltage VDD1 and VDD2 were not supplied, power supply wiring 133 was suspension joint (floating) state, so the time P transistor npn npn MP1 the voltage of grid will level off to earthed voltage.At this moment, if when electrostatic discharge event betides power supply wiring 131, from the electrostatic signal of power supply wiring 131 (for example: positive pulse signal) will cause P transistor npn npn MP1 conducting.By this, electrostatic signal will be passed to the input of inverter 211 by P transistor npn npn MP1, and then cause inverter 211 to produce the control signal CS2 with low-voltage level, for example: earthed voltage GND1.
Latch lock unit 240 comprises P transistor npn npn MP2, inverter 213 and N-type transistor MN1.Wherein, the source electrode of N-type transistor MN1 is electrically connected to ground connection distribution 135, and the drain electrode of N-type transistor MN1 is electrically connected the drain electrode of P transistor npn npn MP2, and the grid of N-type transistor MN1 is in order to reception control signal CS1 or control signal CS2.Inverter 213 has input, output, power end and earth terminal.The input of inverter 213 is electrically connected the drain electrode of P transistor npn npn MP2, the power end of inverter 213 is electrically connected power supply wiring 131 to receive supply voltage VDD1, the earth terminal of inverter 213 is electrically connected to ground connection distribution 135 with reception earthed voltage GND1, and the output of inverter 213 is electrically connected the grid of P transistor npn npn MP2.The source electrode of P transistor npn npn MP2 is electrically connected power supply wiring 131, and the drain electrode of P transistor npn npn MP2 is in order to produce isolation signals I S or triggering signal TS.
When supply voltage VDD1 and VDD2 are supplied to respectively power supply wiring 131 and power supply wiring 133, N-type transistor MN1 will receive the control signal CS1 with high voltage level, and then make N-type transistor MN1 conducting.By this, the drain electrode of N-type transistor MN1 has generation the isolation signals IS of low-voltage level, for example: earthed voltage GND1.On the other hand, earthed voltage GND1 will be passed to from ground connection distribution 135 input of inverter 213.By this, operate in the inverter 213 between supply voltage VDD1 and earthed voltage GND1, will be in response to the earthed voltage GND1 that receives, and (for example: supply voltage VDD1) to the grid of P transistor npn npn MP2, and then cause P transistor npn npn MP2 to enter the state of not conducting produce according to this signal with high voltage level.
When supply voltage VDD1 and VDD2 are not supplied, and electrostatic discharge event is when betiding power supply wiring 131, and trigger element 210 has generation the control signal CS2 of low-voltage level.At this moment, the grid of N-type transistor MN1 will receive the control signal CS2 with low-voltage level, and cause N-type transistor MN1 cut-off.In addition, will be coupled to the drain electrode of N-type transistor MN1 from the electrostatic signal (for example positive pulse signal) of power supply wiring 131.By this, the drain electrode of N-type transistor MN1 has generation the triggering signal TS of high voltage level.On the other hand, the input of inverter 213 is electrically connected the drain electrode of N-type transistor MN1, therefore also will be coupled to the input of inverter 213 from the electrostatic signal (for example positive pulse signal) of power supply wiring 131.By this, inverter 213 can firmly be positioned at by P transistor npn npn MP2 automotive latch the level of the drain electrode of N-type transistor MN1.That is inverter 213 has generation the signal of low-voltage level to the grid of P transistor npn npn MP2, and then causes P transistor npn npn MP2 to be latched in the state of conducting.
Strangulation unit 120 comprises N-type transistor MN2.Wherein the source electrode of N-type transistor MN2 is electrically connected ground connection distribution 135, and the drain electrode of N-type transistor MN2 is electrically connected power supply wiring 131, and the grid of N-type transistor MN2 receives isolation signals IS or triggering signal TS.In operation, when supply voltage VDD1 and VDD2 are supplied, N-type transistor MN2 will receive isolation signals IS.Because the voltage quasi position of isolation signals IS is earthed voltage GND1, therefore make N-type transistor MN2 cut-off.At this moment, power supply wiring 131 to the discharge path of ground connection distribution 135 will be cut off, and then prevent that supply voltage VDD1 from leaking off to ground connection distribution 135.
When supply voltage VDD1 and VDD2 are not supplied, and electrostatic discharge event is when betiding power supply wiring 131, and N-type transistor MN2 will receive triggering signal TS accordingly.Because the voltage quasi position of triggering signal TS is the high voltage level, therefore make N-type transistor MN2 conducting.By this, electrostatic signal will be directed to ground connection distribution 135 via N-type transistor MN2, and then make protected circuit not be subject to the impact of electrostatic signal.
As mentioned above, when electrostatic discharge event occured on power supply wiring 131, strangulation unit 120 was the conducting discharge path, and then caused protected circuit not to be subject to the impact of electrostatic signal.On the other hand, under general operation, because P transistor npn npn MP1 is the state of not conducting that is switched under the control of two supply voltage VDD1 and VDD2, so control circuit 110 will be not easy to be subject to the impact of the noise on power supply wiring 131 and 133.
For instance, Fig. 3 A-1 to Fig. 3 E-3 is respectively the analog waveform figure according to first embodiment of the invention, the transverse axis in wherein graphic represent the time (unit is nanometer second, ns), and its longitudinal axis representative voltage (unit is volt, V).As shown in the oscillogram of Fig. 3 A-1, when electrostatic discharge event betides power supply wiring 131, positive pulse signal PS to occur on power supply wiring 131, and control circuit 110 will produce voltage level as the triggering signal TS of positive pulse signal PS, and then cause strangulation unit 120 conducting discharge paths.Moreover, as Fig. 3 A-2 oscillogram as shown in, and under general operation, supply voltage VDD1 and supply voltage VDD2 are all approximately 3.6V, and control circuit 110 has generation the isolation signals IS of low-voltage level, and 0V for example cuts off discharge paths to cause strangulation unit 120.
As shown in Fig. 3 B-1 to Fig. 3 B-3, under general operation, when noise occurring on power supply wiring 133, that is when supply voltage VDD2 was pulled down to 0V momently from 3.6V, isolation signals IS only can be pulled down to-0.5V from 0V momently.Thus, the strangulation unit 120 of this moment remains the state that maintains cut-off.On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 3 C-1 to Fig. 3 C-3, when the noise that occurs on power supply wiring 133 is positive surging, that is when supply voltage VDD2 was pulled to 10V momently, the level of isolation signals IS was almost not change.That is to say, the strangulation unit 120 of this moment is also still the state that maintains cut-off.
As shown in Fig. 3 D1-1 to Fig. 3 D-3, under operation as above, if send out living noise at power supply wiring 131 patrixes, make supply voltage VDD1 be pulled down to momently 0V by 3.6V, isolation signals IS also only can be pulled down to from 0V-0.25V momently.Thus, the strangulation unit 120 of this moment remains the state that maintains cut-off.Moreover, as shown in Fig. 3 E-1 to Fig. 3 E-3, if send out living noise at power supply wiring 131 patrixes, when making supply voltage VDD1 be pulled to 10V momently from 3.6V, the isolation signals IS that receives of strangulation unit 120 only can be pulled to 1.5V momently from 0V, and strangulation unit 120 remains the state that maintains cut-off.
